Electrical track assembly
An electrical track assembly may include a pair of tracks, including a first track including a first conductor, a second track include a second conductor; and a support member configured for connection with, removal from, and movement along the pair of tracks in a first configuration and a second configuration. The support member may include a first support member contact, a second support member contact, an electrical load including a first load contact and a second load contact, and a manual switch assembly configured to selectively electrically connect the first conductor with the first load contact, selectively electrically connect the second conductor with the second load contact, and prevent current flow (i) between the first conductor and the second load contact and (ii) between the second conductor and the first load contact, the manual switch assembly including a blocking element.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
A system for a boat can include a pair of seat rails configured to simultaneously couple the seat to a floor of the boat in any one of multiple positions in a longitudinal direction of the seat rails, the seat rails being parallel to each other when the seat is coupled to the floor.
UNIVERSAL BALL BEARING CARRIAGE FOR SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY
A carriage includes an elongated body having a first end and an opposing second end and a flange coupled to the first end of the elongated body. The flange includes a first portion having a first face and an opposing second face. The first portion defines a first aperture having a first diameter. The first portion includes (i) at least two first retainers protruding outward from the first face and extending at least partially over the first aperture and (ii) at least two second retainers protruding outward from the opposing second face and extending at least partially over the first aperture. The first retainers and the second retainers define a second diameter that is less than the first diameter. The first aperture, the first retainers, and the second retainers are configured to accommodate ball bearings having diameters between about 4.6 mm and about 5.4 mm.
Power supply and signal transmission device for vehicle seat rail
A power supply and signal transmission device for a vehicle seat rail is provided. The device includes a contact-type power supply unit configured to supply power to an electrical device mounted on a seat, and a contact-type signal transmission unit configured to transfer seat drive control signals. The contact-type power supply unit and the contact-type signal transmission unit are directly mounted on the seat rail.
Stop for a rail of a longitudinally adjustable seat
A stop (11, 11′), in particular an abutment for a longitudinal adjustment mechanism, includes a stop element (15, 15′) that can be placed in various positions. The stop element is configured to automatically lock into a retaining position.
ENERGY ABSORBING MOUNTING STRUCTURE
An energy absorbing mounting structure for a vehicle seat. The mounting structure includes a linear rail configured for being fastened to a vehicle passenger cabin floor structure and a deformable element. The deformable element has a first attachment portion, a second attachment portion and a deformable section arranged between the first and second attachment portions. The first attachment portion is fastened to the rail and the second attachment portion is configured for being fastened to the vehicle passenger cabin floor structure via an opening in a bottom of the rail for enabling relative motion between the floor structure and the rail in a longitudinal direction of the rail by deformation of the deformable section in the event of a vehicle crash.
Cable winding device and flat cable routing structure for sliding seat
A cable winding device is provided, which is for a flexible flat cable routed to a sliding seat slidably supported allowing for forward and backward movement in a longitudinal direction of a fixed rail; a first side end portion of the cable being fixed to an end of the fixed rail corresponding to a first rail end portion; the device including a winding housing portion inside which a second side end portion of the cable is fixed; the winding portion being fixed to a movable body supporting the seat and configured to slide in a forward and backward direction relative to the fixed rail; in a case where the winding portion moves in a forward (or backward) movement direction toward (or away from) the first rail end portion, the cable is wound in the winding portion (or is fed out along the fixed rail from the winding portion).
Seat adjustment assembly and vehicle with adjustable seats
A seat adjustment assembly, and a seat and vehicle including same, are described. The seat adjustment assembly includes an assembly frame being adapted for connecting to a seat; at least one first roller rotatably connected to the at least one wall; and at least one second roller rotatably connected to the at least one wall, the assembly frame and the rollers defining a cavity, the at least one first roller being disposed generally above the cavity, the at least one second roller being disposed generally below the cavity, for each roller, when contact surfaces of the roller are in contact with a rail disposed in the cavity, the contact surfaces of the roller being offset from a lateral center of the roller, the roller and the rail defining a passage between the rail and the lateral center of the roller.
Power slide
A power slide includes a left slide and a right slide, each including a top rail, a bottom rail, a lead screw and an electric motor. The top rail is arranged above the bottom rail and is slidably connected to the bottom rail, and a notch is formed in a middle portion of the top rail. The lead screw is arranged above the bottom rail in parallel and has two ends fixedly connected to the bottom rail. The electric motor includes a housing, a rotor shaft and a stator shaft. The housing is mounted in the notch, the stator shaft is fixedly connected into the housing, the rotor shaft penetrates into the stator shaft and is rotatably connected to the stator shaft, and an interior of the rotor shaft is threadedly connected to the lead screw.
WIRE HARNESS ROUTING DEVICE
Provided is a wire harness routing device that includes a rail in which an insertion hole through which a wire harness is to be inserted is formed, and a slider that performs a sliding movement together with the wire harness with respect to the rail, the wire harness routing device including a harness regulating portion that is arranged along the wire harness in the insertion hole, and is configured to regulate the movement of the wire harness in a direction different from a direction of performing the sliding movement, and move in the insertion hole accompanying the sliding movement of the slider.
